Our programs and community building initiatives reach more than600,000 people [≈ population of Muscat, capital city of Oman] each year, contributing to the revitalization of neighborhoods throughout New York City.
SummerStage reminds our patrons that in the interest of public safety the following items cannot be brought into the Central Park venue: glass bottles, cans, coolers, folding chairs, bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, beach umbrellas, video cameras, tape recorders, professional camera gear or pets. All bags are subject to search. Bringing alcoholic beverages into any NYC park is forbidden and the distribution or sale of unauthorized promotional materials is not allowed.
